Iverson available to play tonight

While Allen Iverson remains officially listed as a game-time decision, coach Eddie Jordan said this morning that Iverson is available to play in tonight's home game against New Orleans.

Iverson suffered a knee-to-knee collision on his arthritic left knee against Toronto on Friday that caused him more pain than usual. He did not make the trip to Detroit for Saturday’s game, and was listed as day-to-day.

As Allen Iverson limped to his locker after the loss to the Raptors, he joked, “I’m getting old,” as he gingerly lowered himself onto his seat.
